Zu design

Zu design is an artist-run gallery and studio in heritage-listed Gay’s Arcade, off Adelaide Arcade in Adelaide, South Australia. The focus is on showcasing predominately Australian art jewelers.

The makers Zu design represents range from emerging and established to internationally known contemporary jewelers. The gallery is passionate about contemporary jewelry and loves showing visitors the possibilities and the diverse range of work from its collection by over 130 makers, each having their own unique style and using a huge variety of techniques and materials.

Run by Jane Bowden, Zu design is also home to access tenants working from the studio space adjacent to its gallery. Current tenants include Angela Giuliani, Simon Williams, Michelle Kelly, Renai Perkas, and Jialei Zheng.

Group photo of the people currently working at Zu design. They rent bench space at Zu design and as such are very involved with the gallery. To celebrate 21 years of Zu design, the gallery held an exhibition, called 21, of pieces by artists who have worked at Zu design over the years. The current makers each had a cabinet (which they’re standing beside), while past Zu design members shared cabinets in the window (not in photo).
